Celebrity chefs! I was so happy to see these stamps, and couldn’t wait to use them. I’m not a very good cook myself, even with recipe books, but I looove watching cooking shows and ‘learning’ their techniques. Then call for take out..

You can buy these lovely stamps in the USPS website.

Sometimes a little twist on a classic is all that’s needed. A white gel pen on a black legal pad equals a letter perfect for Halloween season!

For this Annoy A Postman, I thought I should go back to the basics. No fancy stickers or crazy stamp placements.. just good ol fashioned all-American ridiculous calligraphy irritation. That’s the whole point we started this right, to see if our postmen can read fancy calligraphy? 

So Joe R. from Indiana was sent this lovely swirly pink envelope. A little crazier than usual by my standards, but not impossible to make out, I think. Right? It’s like a really pretty bowl of pink jello spaghetti.

Thankfully, it didn’t take long to arrive.. and in great condition, too! 

I feel so warm and fuzzy inside. No problems, no notes, not returned to sender, just everyone doing their job with mild annoyance. Thank you Joe and Indiana! You know your stuff!

Until the next time…

I love gray and similarly neutral envelopes, it looks equally beautiful in white or black ink, and both give a different ‘feel’ to the envelope. Plus it is so classic and elegant, and elegance is always a good thing.
